Verdict
It’s difficult to drum up much enthusiasm for any of these but Velvet Vista has placed in this grade the last twice. Mykindofsunshine and Q Twenty Boy would be thereabouts on their best form and Onebaba has hinted at ability and will strip fitter for a run at Chepstow. Irish import EASTERN STAR has been a beaten favourite the last twice. She is still relatively unexposed on Turf and this won’t take much winning.
